Automation chains built and stress-tested end to end.
Models get updated, you make small edits, and six months later your reliable template is quietly broken — a three-file habit and a test pack catch the drift before it ships to real work.

You can get most of the speed of AI email sorting without pasting your whole inbox into a chatbot — the trick is a three-bucket loop where the model drafts and you decide, offline from your mail server.
